EIN-Advisory — Angatalie: Elevated Predation; Hot‑drop/Gate‑camp Risk (2025-11-04)

Source: Everyshore Intel Network — Analyst report covering 2025-11-02 to 2025-11-03

Summary

• Angatalie (low‑sec) recorded two violent engagements in the last 48 hours. Activity indicates organized, high‑mobility predators conducting targeted hot‑drops or gate‑camping rather than large fleet warfare.
• Confirmed attacker hulls: Vagabond (HAC — pilot: Uma Thurman) and Mekubal (Angel faction Destroyer — pilot: arataks1s).
• Threat level: Moderate, Persistent (Threat Level 3.0). Real_Thread values from analysis: Vagabond engagement ~3.5; Mekubal engagement ~4.0.
• Peak activity observed around Sunday 11:57 UTC and Monday prime time 21:31 UTC. Hunters are active during high traffic windows.

Observed Events (48‑hour window)

• 2025-11-02 11:57:53 UTC — Ibis destroyed by Vagabond (Uma Thurman). Victim profile: minimal/AFK corvette. Interpretation: opportunistic high‑damage roamer exploiting soft targets.
• 2025-11-03 21:31:35 UTC — Jackdaw destroyed by Mekubal (arataks1s). Victim profile: combat destroyer. Interpretation: hunters are willing and able to defeat prepared combat hulls.

Threat Assessment & Patterns

• Predators favor high speed, high‑alpha or sustained DPS hulls optimized for rapid engage/escape (HACs, faction destroyers). This supports hot‑drop and fast gate‑camp tactics.
• Activity concentrates in prime hours (18:00–23:00 UTC), maximizing target density.
• Both soft (AFK/transport) and combat pilots are at risk — do not assume combat fit alone is sufficient without tactical readiness.
• Likely actors: small, disciplined roaming gangs or solo specialists using hit‑and‑run doctrine.

Recommended Actions (Immediate)

1. Avoid transiting Angatalie in low‑value or unarmed hulls (corvettes, shuttles, industrials) whenever possible. Reroute if you lack proper escorts.
2. Treat gate passages and bookmarks with extreme caution during 18:00–23:00 UTC (prime time). Expect hot‑drops and fast scram/tackle.
3. If you must transit solo:
   • Be aligned at all times, keep warp cloak/align ready, and maintain minimal warp‑in signature (avoid loitering on gates).
   • Use frigate/fast interceptors or cov‑ops scouts for screening where available.
   • Prefer ships that can either escape quickly (high align/insta‑warp) or break tackle (long‑range kiting fits), depending on role.
4. Combat pilots should assume aggressive engagement: have tackle denial, ECM or proper tank, and an exit plan. Don’t assume a single destroyer/cruiser will deter HAC/faction destroyer roams.
5. Move in numbers when carrying value or operating combat ships in system. Small coordinated groups are more likely to deter HAC/faction destroyer hunters.
6. Track named pilots (arataks1s; Uma Thurman) through your own intel sources and adjust your routing/tactics if they appear in system. These names have recent activity linked to successful kills—consider them probable repeat offenders rather than one‑off attackers.

Operational Checklist for Fleets/Small Groups

• Assign a cloaky or fast scout to scout gates and bookmarks before main fleet warp.
• Keep combat probes and active scan discipline to avoid being surprised on warp in.
• Prepare for quick extraction: plan safe‑points, prewarp bookmarks, and an escape vector (not just back through the gate).
• Consider bringing a heavy tackler or neuting support against faction destroyer/ HAC compositions if you intend to contest.

Closing Warning
Angatalie is currently being hunted by capable, fast predators that exploit both soft and combat targets. Exercise elevated caution during prime hours, avoid unnecessary solo transit in low‑sec, and prefer coordinated movement or faster, better‑prepared hulls when operating through the system.
